This study aims to analyze the internationalization strategy of Indonesian as an ASEAN language. The background of this study is based on the importance of the existence of regional languages that can be a means of communication and a symbol of regional identity. The method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, documentation studies, and observations. The results of the study indicate that Indonesian has great potential to become an ASEAN language due to the significant number of speakers, the ease of language structure, and cultural proximity to countries in the region. However, there are various challenges such as the dominance of English, competition with other languages, and limitations of regional policies. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed including strengthening the BIPA program, language diplomacy, the use of digital technology, and cooperation between ASEAN countries. This research is expected to contribute to the development of language policies at the regional level and strengthen the position of Indonesian in the international arena.
